1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Ultrasound with harmonics has emerged as an exceptional alternative to competitively low resolution fundamental ultrasound imaging. The use of second harmonic is already a trend now but higher harmonics are also being seen as even better option due to its improved resolution. The resolution improved with frequency but achieves penetration of reduced energy. The cumulative addition of higher harmonics during propagation yields higher harmonics giving better resolution with adequate penetration. This paper summarizes the progress of such similar decade old harmonic ultrasound imaging technique i.e., superharmonic imaging (SHI) geared towards medical field. It comprises of harmonics higher than second harmonic preferably up to 5th harmonic. We conclude that SHI can be an advanced ultrasound imaging with comprehensive high resolution and adequate penetration depth on sole and coded modes.
